'Re-pose'

Re-pose...A state of rest or tranquility.

I use to dream of this place, I was going to live there...forever.

As a child I new it existed, somewhere...in the woods perhaps. 

I had been in the forest only a handful of times,

traveling from one place to another with my parents,

we were from the desert.

It was whimsical, full of life yet calming all at the same time. The feeling was beguiling. You say "What does a child know of such things," perhaps nothing, but it made and impression on me and I was smitten.

I would say, "When I grow up I'm going to live there."

As time went by I said, "When I get married I'm going to live there."

Then latter I said, "After the kids I'm going to live there."

But it never seemed like I was ever going to get there!

It's funny how we think that we can go to such a place or even visit it.
Yes, we can unwind and relax somewhere,
but a state of rest and tranquility is not found in a location

...it is a frame of mind.
